10 Dollar>>>

Oh, in fact "World Town" was there. But it was tagged as "Down River". WTF?

[Navin]

Jimmy & World town both got screwed over.
And Galang is exactly where I predicted it should be

[Jameson Teqkilla]

Hew awake?

Let's keep it moving, don't stop what you're doin'

#7 - 8.875 - 20 Dollar - Kala - Album Track
Top Score: 10 (collin, Navin, Jameson Teqkilla, Clump, @michael, man*****, Drowned_World
Lowest Score: 5 (KoreanDream)

I remember when a snippet of just the intro to this song leaked, and I could just tell it would be a phenom.

The production is out of this world, the way the drums beat is ****ing INSANE.

The Blue Monday sample + The Pixies sample >>>>>>

Really what KALA was all about at it's finest. A fusion of musical styles from all over the ****ing world, coming together in one blast of solid noise with a Sri Lankan MC at the helm.

"Do ya know the cost of AKs up in Africa? $20 ain't **** to you, but that's how much they are" is probably one of her best/most iconic lines.

Fun FacT: This is the very last song in the rate to receive ANYTHING less than a 7.

[madonnas]

I thought most people considered $20 her best track.

FINALLY.

[Husky]

You should update the first post. And yes I am posting this while you're sitting on the bed behind me. Sue me.

[Changes]

I gave 20 Dollar a 5? Don't know what I was thinking there because I like that more than 10 Dollar.

One of her best lyrically, no matter what KD thinks.

#6 - 8.90625 - XR2 - Kala - Album Track
Top Score: 10 (Dephira, Ace Reject, Navin, Jameson Teqkilla, Shape, Von, Fozzie)
Lowest Score: 7 (ClassicMainstream, KoreanDream, Clump, i spit on haters))

I consider $20 M.I.A.'s lyrical peak, and this her "party" peak. This song, more than almost any other song, makes me just want to DANCE ALL ****ING NIGHT. It's got such a great energy and build that goes perfectly with M.I.A.s most dead-eyed flow to date. It just sounds like being ****ed up, no giving a ****, and having a blast.

And the abbreviations 90s reference bridge is probably one of her most genius moments lyrically to top it out.

Fun FacT: ClassicMainstream didn't rate ANYTHING a 10.

So what's left in our top 5?
Bucky Done Gun
10 Dollar
Bamboo Banga
Paper Planes
Bad Girls

1. Teqkilla
2. World Town
3. 20 Dollar
4. Bucky Done Gun
5. Paper Planes

#5 - 8.9375 - 10 DOLLAR - Arular - Album Track
Top Score: 10 (Dephira, KoreanDream, Ace Reject, Navin, Jameson Teqkilla, Von, man*****,
Lowest Score: 7(i spit on haters, Shape, Husky)

BUMP.

Lyrically, the song is about sex politics, but damn if it isn't wrapped up in the second-best, most danceable beat on Arular.

The way those synths hit is almost like pre-dubstep, ain't it? Arular really is just a ****ing fantastically produced album when you get into it.

Love everything about this song, the structure, etc. Not in my personal top 5, but it ***** and I'm both surprised and happy to see it here.

Fun FacT: This is the highest rated album track from Arular.

It's also the last song not rated above a 9.

[KoreanDream]

It's like y'all refuse to let my favorite songs shine.

[Clump]

Not too much on Bad Girls. It's perfect.
